Floating hose segment and system of floating hose segments

A floating hose segment comprising:

• an inner hose element (14) which has the shape of a hose and has a first inner surface (20) which delimits a line region (16) through which a fluid such as, for example, oil can be conveyed, and a first outer surface (22) which faces away from the line region (16),
• an outer hose element (24) which has the shape of the hose and has a second inner surface (26) which delimits an interior space through which the inner hose element (14) extends, and a second outer surface (28) which faces outward away from the inner hose element (14), and
• at least one communication device (46) which is adapted to transmit information directly or indirectly to a central control device (54),
• wherein the inner and the outer hose element (14, 24) extend between a first end (10) and a second end (12) of the floating hose segment (4),
• wherein at least one sensor device (42) is provided, wherein the at least one sensor device (42) is arranged and adapted so as to be capable of detecting the presence of at least one substance in the region between the first outer surface (22) and the second inner surface (26),
• wherein the at least one sensor device (42) is linked to the communication device (46) such that information relating to the presence of the at least one substance between the first outer surface (22) and the second inner surface (26) can be transmitted to the communication device (46), and
• wherein the communication device (46) is adapted to transmit the information relating to the presence of the at least one substance between the first outer surface (22) and the second inner surface (26) to the central control device (54).
